Just updating the progess of the track Lude after trying to fix it at the weekend:(

The 4G uses my only set of OEM fat wheel nuts and I needed them to fit my OEM blades on my 5G for the last track day. I have a collection of old crappy OEM nuts so I slapped on two to each wheel of the 4G to keep the wheels on whilst I used the good nuts on the 5th. Turns out that one of the old nuts was fooked and threaded one of my brand new wheel studs, beyond the point of saving it :x . At least its happened to the front left which is the side that I have to completely break down anyway. Also since we installed all new studs the front knuckles have already been shaved to get the studs in and out :)

So I have been off to Honda to get another stud and a load of sideskirt poppers. The parts guy at Honda now gives me a 10% discount on all parts as I have become a regular customer :lol: That's what happens when you own three Honda's.

The only other hurdle I have to deal with is that the "hub" on that side has become sighly deformed and the brake disc wont slide off the hub. Once off I'll file the odd shape out of the hub.
